this year included in the blue and white squad are two intercollegi ate champions mauer and detar mauer is the lightweight represent ative while detar captain of the team and probably the cleverest man on the squad weighs in at 135 pounds when one considers that lehigh will be represented in both these classes by men who have had no experience in collegiate wrest ling previous to this year the up state grappling team assumes rather monstrous proportions neverthe less what coach sheridan's men lack in experience they make up to a great extent in pluck and fight and the bouts at penm state this saturday will probably be by no means one-sided lehigh will be represented by the following iven : 115-pound class — reynolds or schwarzbach 125-pound class — yanikeuren or miller 135-pound class — walters or thompson 145-pound class — capt bertolet 158-pound class — loeser 175-pound class — roy heavyweight — carlisle the amherst swimming team which arrives in bethlehem tonight has back of it

exceedingly worth while attending as an excit ing contest will probably take place the lehigh tankmen have been put through strenuous work-outs dur ing the past week by coach ma honey and are im good shape for to morrow's encounter brown and white enthusiasts will no doubt le pend upon men like capt jacobs \ annort and gangewere for good work in the sprints and upon arner and regad in the plunges straub and v annort will take care of the diving on feb sth the lehigh grapplers tackled the columbia miatmen at new york and won out with a final score of 16 to 15 coach peterson's men pulled the surprise on the lo cal maitmen when they put up such c formidable exhibition the meet being in the balance until the last bout in he heavy-weight class when carlisle defeated the colum bia man me laugh lin by gaining a decision over the latter this bout while not the most spectacular of the afternoon attracted keen inter est and carlisle met his man with a cool head having an advantage of four minutes 46 seconds at the end of nine minutes the best matwork was shown in the contest between capt bertolet of lehigh and capt pauli of co lumbia both men were experienc ed and knew the game thoroughly bertolet kept the offensive through out and won by decision over pauli a large number of lehigh root ers were present and although they were outnumbered by the colum bia spectators the brown and white rooters put the new yorkers cheering to shame in the 115-pound class schwarz bach was slated against linschitz the columbia representative the men were quite closely matched and they didn't go to the mat until sev continued on page three prof robert w blake dies after extensive illness head of arts and science department was in active service at lehigh for twenty-one years mourned by many friends continued on page four the stars of the game were un doubtedly the two centers john ny lees of lehigh and graves of perm lees seemed to hit his stride when he came up against the tall perm lad and went along fine he was responsible for four le high points by two l>eautiful goals from the center of the floor one coming in each half he met the perm center on each occasion and perm took the lead at the start of the game on the foiil shooting of mcnichol and kept it throughout the first half by the aid of rose nast's double-decker lingle was a little off on his foul shooting and could only score 2 out of 6 chances but lees got away from graves on one occasion long enough to center a field goal the twenty-minute period ended with perm leading by a 7-4 score graves started the second half by scoring from the field and with mcnichol scoring pretty regularly from the foul mark the lehligh team could not catch up in the second half danny mcnichol centered his foals in better form scoring on s out of 13 attempts the intensity with which the le high team waged battle on the red and blue representatives is shown in the fact that two of the lehigh warriors were ejected from the game because of personal fouls buddy lingle was the first to go being chased in the early part of the second half and bill spring steen followed later when he got mixed up with miller near the end of the game lehigh played the perm team to a standstill on the floor during the entire game and it was only on fouls that the quakers managed to win both team registered but three double-deckers during the contest and without the big ad vantage of fouls lehigh would not have been behind by such a margin there were but ten fouls called on the perm five giving lingle oppor tunity to equal the score made by mcnichol the lehigh team wemt into the game with a great deal of fight and spirit and as a result a large num ber of fouls were called on them these infractions of the rules were readily turned into points by the automatic mcnichol who has been doing such splendid work from the 15-foot mark for the perm team however danny was not in his best form and was only able to cage 13 out of 21 tries the lehigh basketball team jour neyed to philadelphia last saturday night and encountered the pennsyl vania team after battling thru 40 minutes of one of the roughest games on record lehigh emerged on the short end of a 19-10 score the closeness of the score indicates how hard and how well the lehigh quintet fought the mighty perm team both teams instituted the five mani s

of phi beta kappa and tail bet pi the subject for the meeting has not yet been announced but an unusual af ternoon can be promised the victory attained by the le high tankmen over the stevens swimmers last saturday was a de cidedly decisive one in that the brown and white men captured every first place every event was nevertheless very close and hard fought the lehigh team was at the height of its condition and the meet was a revolutionary one to followers of the lehigh squad the first event was the 160-yard relay yaninort the last man of the lehigh quartette finished no more than a quarter of a lap ahead of capt eberhart of the stevens team in an exciting race second in the order of events came the plunge this seemed to be an off-day for the plunger of both teams the winning plunge of arner being 56 feet 6 inches this was but six inches more than the plunge of adams stevens who jnade second regad upon whom rhe brown and white more or less depended to win was off-color and he had difficulty in keeping a straight course and hence was un able to place the 220-yard dash which came next was perhaps the most excit ing lit was won by capt jacobs in 3 minutes 4-5 seconds the pool being but 20 yards in length it was necessaray to swim eleven laps ( n the ninth lap when ja cobs was leading by half a length he mistook the lusty cheers of an ardent rooter for a signal to stop thinking that the race was ended he stopped stood upright in the pool and looked back when he saw the stevens men speeding up behind him he started again and in spite of this woi the event this accounts for the comparatively poor time which was made there was some discussion among the judges a 9 to whether jacobs should be disqualified for this stopping but finally it was decided that he was the rightful winner the 40-yard dash and the dives were then run off consecutively and yannont captured first place in both this is the first time that vaiunort has won a dive and from his dependable work of saturday it was seen that he is a cracker-jack diver as well as a sprint man the closing event was the 100 yard which was won by schaeffer in an exhibition of hard plugging lie won out over capt eberhart the best man on the stevens squad in one minute eight seconds light men made the trip with coach mahoney and asst manager jagels and the commendable re sults of the meet imbued the team with an added confidence and de termination to win the contest with amherst to be staged in taylor pool tomorrow afternoon the detailed results are as fol lows :—: — continued on page two 160-yard
